For Attorneys

What does this mean to me as a practicing attorney?

The PBI staff seeks a broad range of pro bono opportunities for our volunteer students. If you are an attorney who advocates for low-income and disadvantaged Utahns and are interested in the prospect of working with one of our law student volunteers, please contact us.

Students can assist on the following: client intake, interviewing, fact investigation, legal research, writing, and third-year students may be qualified to appear under the 2L practice rule.

Law students can work in your office on a weekly basis throughout the semester or help you with a specific case or project for an extended period of time. As you fill out our attorney project request form, please be aware of our general guidelines below:

A law student is advised to make project commitments on a semester-by-semester basis due to their changing schedules.

We list pro bono projects year-round, which can be from firm attorneys, solo practitioners & other legal related organizations.

As the attorney supervisor, you will be required to hold a brief exit interview with your student volunteer at the end of the project.
